SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

"Alpine Climbers" is a movie from before World War II that has its 80th anniversary this year. It is a Walt Disney cartoon that runs slightly under 10 minutes and features Donald, Micky and Pluto on a tour in the mountains. Unluckily for them, and lucky for us, the run into all kinds of different animals and complete chaos ensues quickly. The one downside here is that our trio does not have as much screen time together as I hoped they would. But this does only momentarily take away from the fun. Lots of hilarity in here and at the end we even have two drunk dogs and hands down, the animation is absolutely outstanding for its time. Many filmmakers from the 1960s and 1970s could only have dreamed of that level. I certainly recommend the watch.

We saw this cartoon at Disney Caribbean Beach recently and our 7 year old daughter loved it. We would love to get it on DVD or tape. The cartoon went round with some others in a loop and we looked forward to seeing this one every day. I and my husband also loved it. Very cleverly done and lovely cameos. Mickey who is leading the climb, starts yodelling, and Donald repeats the tune in his inimitable style. Nobody sings like Donald Duck! Pluto has to be hoisted up behind them, and is not amused. Usual trouble ensues. The trio are rescued by a St. Bernard. The rum barrel is emptied during the shenanigans and all are happy in the end!!!

A very enjoyable, if slightly raucous early short from Walt, 'Alpine Climbers' follows our boys Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Pluto the dog as they journey through the Alps and endure a series of misadventures with the local fauna, including a mother eagle, two mountain goats and a rescue St. Bernard. I have some pretty distinct memories of watching it several times over in my childhood, and have always adored it, if only for the scenes between Pluto and the aforementioned St. Bernard who, in a drunken state, he falls completely in love with (and whose gender, incidentally, is never specified, though I guess it isn't too important!) I just can't resist the moment where he gets triple vision and erroneously believes that the bewildered rescue aid dog is returning his suggestive gestures – well face it, no one does mute comedy quite as Pluto does. And the St. Bernard's character design is a pleasure.Overall though, Pluto's story makes up only a very small aspect of 'Alpine Climbers', and to be perfectly honest the rest is pretty much take or leave. It's certainly entertaining, and works neatly as a showcase of all three characters' defining dispositions – Mickey as the mellow straight man, Donald as the temperamental angry man, and Pluto as the naïve sweetie (he's just so darn cute!). At the same time, it's interesting to watch from a retrospective point of view just to see the more old school character designs. Still, though the skits involving Mickey and Donald are amusing enough in their own right, really there's just too much of the generic slapstick and calamity you can find in any number of these cartoon shorts, which does give it a somewhat undistinguished tone. That said, it's always delightful to see Donald fly by using his tail feathers as a propeller – that's inspired genius, plan and simple!In my eyes, 'Alpine Climbers' is definitely deserving of its classic status, though it's mostly thanks to the input of Pluto and that gorgeous St. Bernard – a subplot which is just brimming with cuteness and charm. In between, there are some pretty noteworthy lessons to be picked up on about interfering with the local ecosystems of wherever you may go (again, you should never attempt to steal eagle eggs from their nests – really, I'd expect Mickey Mouse to know better than that!) Grade: A-

I own all of the four films with Silly Symphonies and Micky Mouse. I found many of the short films to be masterpieces. They are all so very well-done and funny.This one is about Mickey,Donald and Pluto that is going to go out and climb a mountain. It's a hilarious little film with many funny things in it.
